SUBJECT:

INTERIM REPORT FOR COMPLETED ANALYSES FOR SAMPLES FROM BUCHANAN, NEW YORK SET TWENTY-THREE, FROM THE INDIAN POINT POWER STATION, [INSPECTION REPORT NO. 050-247/2006-0071

[RFTA NO. 06-0011

Dear Mr. Kottan:

The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) received set 23, consisting of four water samples, associated with the Indian Point Power Station on March 9,2007. Sample analysis was initiated based on your previous direction for handling samples from thls licensee. Sample identification and collection data for the samples addressed in this report are presented in Table

1. Gamma spectroscopy, the hard-to-detect betas (iron-55, nickel-63, and tritium), technetium-99, total radiostrontium, alpha spectroscopy, plutonium-241, and carbon-14 data are provided in Tables 2 through 8, respectively.

The pertinent procedure references are provided in each specific table. ORISE's Quahty Control (QC) requirements were met for these analyses.

The QC files are available for your review upon request. Adltional reports will follow after the completion of the requested analyses.

ORISE has removed the Ni-59 data due to problems with the calculation associated with the concentration of thls radionuclide.

ORISE is discontinuing the reporting of Ni-59 data until this problem can be resolved.

My contact information is listed below. You may also contact Wade Ivey at 865.576.9 184 with any questions or comments.

Sincerely, Dale Condra, Manager Laboratory RDC:WPI:bf Enclosures C: T. Carter, NRC/FSME/DWMEP 7J8 J. Whtte, NRC Region I E. Knox-Davin, NRC/FSME/TWFN 8A23 M. Roberts, NRC Region I File 1697 E. Abelquist, ORISE S Kirk, ORISE Ip Distribution approval and concurrence
